Statue of Tintin in Brussels, Bronze comic statue near Brussels Park, Belgium
This bronze monument depicts the comic character and his white dog in journalistic attire, both positioned on a granite base near Brussels Park. The composition shows them standing together in a way that reflects their close partnership throughout their adventures.
The comic series started in 1929 when it appeared in a Belgian newspaper, eventually becoming one of the most read graphic stories worldwide. The monument itself was created in 2018 to celebrate this achievement.
The figure honors Hergé's famous comic series, which established Belgium's strong tradition of graphic storytelling. Visitors can see how deeply rooted this character is in Belgian identity and popular culture.
The statue sits in a central location that is easy to reach on foot while exploring downtown Brussels. The area around it has solid paving and open space, making it comfortable for visitors to stop and take photos.
The inscriptions on the base document how this comic reached millions of readers worldwide and shaped the form of adult graphic storytelling. This makes the monument a place where visitors can trace the global impact of a Belgian creation.
